Question

Responses

The entry fee for the car was $10.00.
The entry fee for the car was $10.00.

The entry fee for the car was $12.50.
The entry fee for the car was $12.50.

The entry fee for the car was $2.50.
The entry fee for the car was $2.50.

Each individual entry fee was $10.00.

Answer 1

To interpret the algebraic expression \( 2.5x + 10 \):

• The term \( 10 \) represents the entry fee for the car.
• The term \( 2.5x \) represents the individual entry fees for Julio and Ashley, where \( x \) is the number of individuals (in this case, \( x = 2 \) for Julio and Ashley).

Given this, the correct interpretation of a part of the expression is:

The entry fee for the car was $10.00.

Therefore, this is the accurate interpretation.
